Ok, the Dvd's arrived yestrday afternoon while I was out, so the first oppurtunity to do a workout was late evening. Butts & Guts was my choice. Note that I had run 6 miles in the morning so I was already some what fatigued.
The warm up was different and fun. When I looked at the length of of it I thought OK B-O-R-I-N-G. But it was fun and effective with the SB.
The first exercise was the walking lunges with 5# in each hand. Ok, I had to go on a diagonal on my mats but it worked out fine. The hard part for me were the "little jumps" after each segment with the weights! The dead lifts were as expected, next came One Legged squats with one foot up on the step. These made my legs tremble. Hammer punch lunges were next like in KPC, they work! The BB squats were next and they are long sets and lots of nasty halfway-ups. Then this whole series is repeated. However, Cathe inserts a Lunge/Squat combo that I though was one of the hardest exercises in the workout. It is not that they are hard at first; it is just that the number of reps make them fatiging. (again maybe if I hadn't run I would think differently) The fire walkers were not as tiring to my legs as the Lunge/squats.
On the floor the outer thigh lifts on the SB were tough as expected, and the hamstring roll-ins had a different sequence than in other productions. The AW work starts out wtih inner thigh, OK no big deal here. But the table glute lifts (on hands and knees and lifting each leg in 3 diferent postitions was a burner for me. ( My DVD did freezup at one point, but my glutes were on fire, so I didn't mind! It self corrected any way)
The ab section with the AW and #5 was different and again I wanted it to be over sooner than it was.
The stretch was thorough.
I did not review the bonus section.

If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.
